(Am)The tides of (C) the earth left (G) us bound and (D)calcified, and made us
(Am)Obstinate as (C)obsidian, (G) unmoving (D)save our eyes
(Am)Just mooning (C) and blinking, (G)from faces (D)marked with coal
(Am)Ash cooling (C) and shrinking, (G) cracks loud as (D)thunder rolling, I swear
(Am)I know you, (C) you know me, (G) where have we (D) met before, tell me true
(Am)To whose au - (C)thority (G) do you con(D)sign your soul?
(Am)I had a dream you (C)came to me, said, "(G)You shall not do me harm (D)anymore"
(Am)And with your knife you e(C)victed my life from its (G)little lighthouse on
the (F)sea(Am)shore
And I (Am)saw that my blood had (C)no bound, (G)spreading in a circle like an (D)atom bomb
(Dm)Soaking and felling every(C)thing in its path, and (G)welling in my heart like
a (F)bird(Am)bath
(Am)It is too short (C) the day we are born (G) we commence with our (D)dying
